Two dead as Tunisian police fires on protesters

You gotta love Islam, Strife, unrest, riots, police bitch slappin women in the streets and then shooting people because they did not like it.

The later part I don't understand, I thought it was allowable to Bitch slap your women in Islam? Maybe that is just your own Women.


(Reuters) - At least two people were killed and 17 others wounded in northern Tunisia on Saturday when police opened fire to quell a protest after a senior police officer slapped a woman in the face, official and media sources said.

The head of police in the city of El Kef was arrested after the shooting, an Interior Ministry source said.

Four policemen had been arrested earlier on Saturday on suspicion of links to the death on Friday of two civilians while in police custody in Sidi Bouzid, the epicenter of a popular revolt that ousted last month President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali and reverberated across the Arab world.

Public confidence in the police has been at a low since the revolt, with many Tunisians blaming police officers for killing protesters and associating them with the ousted president.
